Retreat location
Set among a lush green jungle within a short walk to a paradise beach, you will find Earth Yoga Village to be extremely peaceful and the ideal place to relax. It is your refuge from a busy life and is conveniently located in between South Goa on the beautiful beach of Palolem and Patnem, which is known for its blissful vibes, laid-back people, and stunning nature.
Palolem Beach is largely unspoiled and is inhabited by both local fishermen and foreign tourists who live in shacks along the shore or the main village. The location offers an ideal place to explore the stunning beaches, beautiful local villages, and surrounding nature outside of your retreat schedule. Earth Yoga Village staff members are strongly engaged in making the village eco-friendlier.
The lodge runs partly on solar power and Earth Yoga Village staff members work hard on adding further eco-friendly measures. Connection with nature is vital and they strive towards that connection in everyday life and with every action.
